Monitoring Static or Dynamic Entries of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Cache
Purpose
Display IPv6 Neighbor Discovery cache information static entries, dynamic entries, or both:
- You can use the static keyword to display only static entries
- You can use the dynamic keyword to display only dynamic entries
- You can use the summary keyword to display summary information

Action
To display both static and dynamic entries from the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery cache:
host1# show ipv6 neighbors Interface IPv6-Address Type Hardware Addr State Age ----------------- ----------------- ------- -------------- ----- ----- FastEthernet4/1 1::1 dynamic 0090.1a40.05e5 reach 3
To display summary information of both static and dynamic entries from the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery cache:
host1# show ipv6 neighbors summary Total IPv6 neighbors: 7 By type: 5 global, 2 link-local, 0 anycast, 0 unknown By state: 5 reachable, 0 incomplete, 2 stale, 0 probe, 0 delay, 0 init IPv6 address conflicts: 0 during DAD resolution, 0 after DAD resolution
Meaning
Table 40 lists the show ipv6 neighbors command output fields.
